We used NFSv3 for our lab iMacs, that worked fine but we had to disable NFS locking to get decent performance (the Finder does a lot of locking). We no longer have lab iMacs so now we use Samba (4.2 on FreeBSD/ZFS). The University of St Andrews is a charity registered in Scotland, No. SC013532.

Oh, brother. I used to *publish* the hooks to get CAP, the Columbia Appletalk Protocol server, and later netatalk to work for SunOS sytems to allow Mac access. These days, MacOS clients can use NFSv3 to access Linux hosts quite handily. I'd use that, seriously. The tricky part is unmounting gracefully: NFS is supposed to be "stateless", but never quite achieves it. If you need better authentication, then look into CIFS (which Linux and various network appliances use Samba to publish), or possibly NFSv4 (which has much better user authentication than NFSv3, but is more complex to set up). OS X 10.1 had nfs and smb as well as Apple's pre-OS X afp. OS X defaulted to afp until smb replaced it in OS X 10.9. If you set up samba on an SL box and have avahi installed, the SL box'll show up in the OS X Finder. Thank you! -- ~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~

And it's not the code I'm concerned about. SL represents a certain set of engineering decisions that I agree with. Centos is simply a clone of RHEL without RH branding.

Fermi has stopped using SL?
I heard a rumor today that said Fermi labs has moved off of Scientific Linux to Centos? Is this a factual thing?
